The German victory claim lists appeared a few years too late for us, unfortunately! The research on the book was finished in 1992 but for some reason (sheer inefficiency, perhaps?) Airlife did not manage to publish it until 1996.

Jochen Prien's JG 77 Band IV came out as we were correcting the prooofs: he had additional material but nothing that compelled us to make any changes. I have become aware of a number of mistakes over the years (mostly not too serious) but I'm afraid I haven't been keeping a list although Ghostbombers corrects some innaccuracies over times or dates of the night combats.
